National Geographic Topo Question

State set has the best detail - 1:24,000 of USGS maps except for Alaska which has 1:25,000

The Back Roads Explorer 3D has 1:100,000 scale except for Alaska & Hawaii which are 1:250,000

 

I do have a Back Roads Explorer 3D set for sale if you are interested. As I remember it lists for $49.95, I am willing to sell it for $25 + shipping.

 

Email me if you are interested egorny@gis2gps.com

The State series comes with 3D too but you have to buy them on a state by state basis which is pricey. The northeast set includes about 8 states in the set for the price of one state. Also, the state series allows you to transfer waypoitn tracks and routes. Not sure about the other one.

My .02 worth...

NG TOPO are the absolute BEST 1:24000 digitized topos available and considering that when they first came out with the State Series, they were $249/ state, it's sure not a bad deal at $99 /state now.

The next step after getting a state would be to invest in TOPO streets and 3D Views. (about $20)That's ver 4 and then you can download the latest Tiger Street information and the latest TOPO map updates available from USGS off of the internet .......free.
